Message	We have a member in our club that powder coated his valve covers. He lost his engine twice shortly after. It seems that the loose particles are hard to get out of the valve covers. The particles get into the oil and destroy the bearings. An oil analysis was done to determine what caused the failure and the result was powder coat particles.
